The application of engine usage monitoring systems in U.K. military aircraft for the purpose o reducing life cycle costs is discussed. Recent developments in the airborne recording equipment and ground data processing facility are described, and some results from analysis of recorded flight data aimed at identifying component fatigue life consumption are presented. The use of equipment dedicated to component life monitoring is discussed and the development of a low cycle fatigue counter is described in more detail. Finally, the prospects for extending engine usage monitoring equipment to take advantage of future developments in microelectronics are considered.
